“Darian, showed up a little early which I appreciated. It gave us time to connect and share more details about Luigi. They were very communicative and updated regularly with photos and message! I felt that he was in good hands, they even did some training which was great. The next time we need a full day sitter I’ll be sure to use their services!”

My time is dedicated to caring for, accompanying, and playing with your puppies. I offer a flexible schedule to look after them and give them playtime whenever they need it. I provide attentive and personalized care for your pets in your home, ensuring their comfort, feeding, hygiene, play, affection, and safety, while adapting to their daily routines and needs.
“Amazing sitter!!! Schirn stayed with our elderly fur babies and took incredible care of them and our apartment while we were on vacation. We were in constant communication (but not too much!) before the stay, during, and after we got back home to make sure we settled back in okay. Upon meeting Schirn, you and your pets will immediately be at ease because she is a pro- comforting, reliable, trustworthy and truly goes above and beyond. The daily pictures and updates showed our pets were happy and when we got home we could tell they were very well taken care of. I highly, highly, highly recommend Schirn for picky pet parents!”
About: I am an animal lover living in Ridgewood. I grew up with cats my entire life. I also raised a basset hound named Sandor. I am kind and compassionate, willing to do overnights, drop-ins, and walks with your pets. Establishing trust with an animal and allowing them to adjust to your presence is one of the most important parts of the process. I have been caring for neighbors pets for years and walked dogs professionally in Manhattan. I’m available for walks and drop-ins during the weekdays also overnights if you’re going out of town for a week or more. I love pets. I will be able to drop in to give your fur baby some love when you’re at work or will stay overnight when you travel.
“Christopher was communicative, caring, and receptive. He provided a great help to me over the weekend and he will be the first one I reach out to again for assistance.”
“Chuk is the sweetest, kindest person and took incredible care of my dog. He sent terrific photos and videos while I was away. He also administered meds (better than I can!) and I came home to a super happy, well taken care of and loved dog! If there were more than 5 stars, I would give that. I can't wait for Murray to have another playdate with Chuck!!”
“Iggy was amazing with Darby, as well as being a house guest. Very understanding and communicative, both respectful of my home, as well as my dog--couldn't have asked for a better experience! Will definitely be rebooking and highly recommend!”
About: Fully insured for pet injuries, vet bills, and property damage. Animal shelter volunteer and former Accountant. I have a 9.5-year-old dog, so I understand the love, care, and attention your furry family member needs ❤️ I'm planning to do pet care full-time so your dog won't be alone for more than 3 hours. I only board 1 dog at a time outside of my own dog. My sister also lives with me so there's usually company around 🐾🐱🐶 I have a fenced backyard and my own dog to keep your pet happy and social. My home is clean, secure, and pet-safe to ensure a comfortable environment at all times
“Erik was great and responsive, given the short notice on my end. He was punctual and provided updates with my Evie. Would absolutely recommend and book again. Thanks!”
“Vanessa was great with our dog and guinea pig while my family was away. She was communicative, sent pictures and videos, followed all our instructions and took great care of our house . We will definitely use her again.”
“Marisa was wonderful! She spent the weekend expertly caring for our 6 cats and dogs as if they were her own. Marisa was really good about communicating with us throughout the weekend, both in writing and through sharing pictures. Caring for 6 fur babies is a lot to begin with but she handled all of them so well. I would recommend and would love to work with Marisa again.”
“Tess took great care of Oscar and Bruno. Oscar is 9 and deaf. Bruno 2 and peppy. Tess took them for long walks, played fetch for ever and lived them up. I lived all the updates and photis. I was 200% at ease being out of state and knowing the first were in attentive living hands”
“Ethan is absolutely wonderful! He stayed with my dog while I was out of town for four nights. When I left, my dog was taking an antibiotic that made him lose his appetite. By the time I got home my dog’s appetites was even better than before and he had gained some much needed weight (I had been trying for about a year to get him to gain weight)! Ethan even was sure to clean up my apartment (I.e, swiffered, took out trash, vacuumed) before I came home, which was unnecessary but sooooo appreciated! I am just so grateful to Ethan—he truly got my little guy righted around. I will absolutely be having Ethan stay with my pup again!!”
“Took great care of our Nebby and our home during her 10 day stay while we were out of the country! We could tell Nebby was very well cared for. We would definitely have Em watch her again!”
“Kier is great. We met up for a short walk day before so he and Buddy could get acquainted, and Buddy took to him right away. He’s mellow, friendly, and professional, and I will definitely book him again.”
“Meaghan was wonderful with our little puppy. You could tell that she loves animals and that she knew how to handle a first time meeting without causing the dog unnecessary anxiety. That allowed us to leave feeling secure that Maisie was in good hands!”
“Christina was fantastic! She was able to work with our puppy , who was very worried about a new person in the home, to put him at ease and provide a wonderful experience. Highly recommended”
“We are so grateful for Rachelle! Our senior kitty recently said goodbye to her sister and Rachelle was so understanding and reassuring when we had to leave. She gave daily updates and clearly showed our Pockets care and affection. I would absolutely refer her to anyone with fur babies!”
“Very detailed and professional. My 3 fur babies who have never opened to somebody in first meeting so quickly did so in 10 min of his arrival. He seems very passionate abpit his profession:)”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Woodhaven
Ariel went above and beyond with her care of our sweet cat and dog. They both immediately loved her. She provided us with updates that kept us reassured our fur bbs were in good hands. She even cut our dog’s nails and gave her a bath. We will definitely be booking Ariel for another stay.
Isabel did a very nice job with my dog Onyx. She was with him for two days and one night. She followed every instruction I gave, and kept in touch with me the whole time. She also kept the house very tidy as well. The cherry on top was the fact that she left her own little note to me and I really appreciated that. Would definitely book her again.
Kaylee is amazing. Our 1 year old pitbull loved her from the first minute. She is truly a "dog person". Our dog Cannoli had surgery earlier in the week. Kaylee followed all our instructions with medication and sent videos. We could see our baby snuggled up with Kaylee sleeping. I will Absolutely be booking again.
Nouni took great care of my two pups at our home while we were away. She was very responsive to our texts and had no issues administering my boy Lino’s daily eye medication. They enjoyed their walks, and even though there was snow everywhere, they were walked daily, fed properly, and had a great time with her👏🏽 Definitely recommend her!
Rachael put my timid senior rescue girly at ease right away. It was such a relief to know she'd be well-cared for. Rachael even got on the floor and tried to handfeed her, when she wasn't interested in her breakfast! Lots of pics and updates, too. Will definitely be using Rachael again.
Evan continues to be our go to pet sitter! We had a rough month with some last minute asks of Evan and he was incredibly generous with his time and last minute changes. Also, Matilda our dog, had a stomach bug and Evan kept us updated on how she was doing daily and gave her medicine on time and by the instructions we left. Thank you again Evan!
Regina was such a thoughtful, caring, and attentive sitter for our two cats. She sent pictures and video clips every day, and let us video call them when she could sense they missed us. She was considerate and kind, and I loved that she created a genuine connection with our babies, so much so that she will miss them. I highly recommend working with Regina. Thank you for making our week-long vacation worry-free!
Catherine was great!! She stayed over Thanksgiving break to watch our cats and they had a great time with her. She also went above and beyond to clean our apartment before we came back. We came home to relaxed, happy cats and a clean home, which makes traveling much less stressful. Would highly recommend her to watch anyone’s pets!

FAQs for House Sitting - Woodhaven
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Woodhaven on Rover is $66.6 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 18,892 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Woodhaven. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Woodhaven walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Woodhaven maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Woodhaven choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
